Place
Toscana has been baking cantucci (biscotti) for centuries. The region's dry climate, reliable wheat, and a tradition built around shelf life shaped a recipe that keeps well and travels far. Every box in this variety pack comes from that same tradition and the same Tuscan bakery.

Process
Each flavor in this box uses the same core process: dough mixed with the key ingredient, shaped into a log, baked once, cut into individual pieces, then baked a second time. The double bake is what makes cantucci: low moisture, no preservatives needed, weeks of shelf life. Six flavors, one technique.

People
The family we work with in Toscana has been baking cantucci for three generations. Every flavor in this box comes from their bakery: same base dough, same oven, same twice-baking sequence. We have worked with them since Gusta's first order.

Questions

  • Can I dunk these?
    Yes. Dip into espresso, hot chocolate, or sweet wine. Hold for 2-3 seconds; eat before it softens past the bite. That is the traditional Tuscan way.
  • How long do they keep once opened?
    2-3 weeks in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid the fridge. It introduces moisture and off-flavors. A metal tin holds them better than the resealable bag.
  • How long does the sealed bag keep?
    Check the best-by date on each box. Typically 6-9 months from production per box. Once opened, keep in an airtight container; 2-3 weeks at their best.
  • Which flavors are included, and which contain nuts?
    Six boxes: Almond, Pistachio, Chocolate, Cranberry, Ginger and Lemon, and Orange. Almond (20% almonds) and Pistachio (18% pistachios) contain tree nuts. Chocolate contains dark chocolate (22%). All flavors contain wheat, eggs, and butter.
  • What is the difference between biscotti and cantucci?
    Cantucci is the Tuscan name for twice-baked cookies. The rest of Italy calls them biscotti, which just means twice cooked. Same thing, same region.
  • Are these very hard?
    Biscotti are intentionally firm. A 2-3 second dip softens the outside without losing structure. Eaten dry they are firm, not aggressive.
